The theme's Iv downloaded here for Windows XP SP3 aren't loading on Re-Boot. I cant figure out why and i didn't see anything in the first 4 pages of posts... it just reboots at windows classic    
 
any help?  
 
Thanks, Zad

Well,zaduro Probably you're talking about a 3rd party XP theme right? Was the theme installed before you install SP3? If yes, you need to patch your uxtheme.dll again Use this to patch it and restart your machine. If classic windows are seen, apply the theme you want & restart again
 
If the above conditions are not met and you're having problem with loading your theme (visual style), try following.
1 Open Run command & type "services.msc" without quotes. 2 Under the appearing window search Themes services & double click it.  
3 In the Themes Properties window, change the startup type to Automatic & click Start to start the theme services.  
4 Then go to the Recovar tab and under 'First failure' & 'Second failure' make sure that 'Restart the service' option is on
5 Then try a restart and see what happens
 
Also keep us posted in any case of problem so we can be helpful
